One Saturday in April, we set out on foot with young aikidokas from Slapy to Štěchovice.
We were able to put our newfound spring energy to good use at the traditional April seminar with Jan Nevelius.
We have created a completely new retraining course accredited by the Ministry of Education: Class 2 Trainer Specializing in Aikido. And in 2026, we launched its first run—it’s a very special event… read on!
The sleepover for teenagers from our dojo was a great success!
Our Christmas parties keep getting better! This year, we started off in an orderly and traditional manner: cabbage soup and sandwiches, gingerbread cookies and Christmas bread, mulled wine…
Our annual end-of-year seminar was great, thanks to Zdeněk Regulim for the inspiration and good exercises! There was also a big kyū grading exam, you can find the list of successful candidates in the article 🙂
Laughter and concentration, clear stances and quick movements, mutual contact… on Saturday, we hosted the fifth international seminar for children and youth, Aiki4Kids! Around 150 children and young people (aged 5 to 21) practiced on the tatami, assisted by about 25 adult teachers.
It’s autumn again this year. And so the Japanese community in Czechia organized the Japanese Autumn Festival Akimatsuri. And once again, they invited us to demonstrate aikido.
Přiblížil se konec letních prázdnin a někteří z nás zamířili směr Berlín, aby poslední srpnový víkend strávili na letním aikido semináři v Berlíně. Letošní ročník přinesl novinku, odehrával se na dvou místech zároveň (Kranich Dojo a Little Kung Fu School), a tak probíhali lekce učitelů paralelně…
Our summer camp for young people aged 15-21 was exceptional this year: in addition to Martin and Pavel, three teachers who were still practicing in the youth group a few years ago also taught.
In order for the organization’s examiners to test well (and consistently) for kyu and dan grades, they need to know what and how to test. That is why the Czech Aikido Federation organizes training for examiners.
We have completed another week of summer school for adults in Třešť – the sixteenth year brought some interesting new features.
Like every year, we headed to the Atlantic coast: to practice aikido, swim in the ocean, and taste France!
As is customary at our club, we once again organized suburban camps for children during the first two weeks of July. What do these camps entail? A total of more than twenty children, a number of teachers and assistants, and, most importantly, ten days of fun, games, exercise, and Japanese culture.
We started the summer in our club with a visit of friends and colleagues from Berlin. We attended a seminar focused on the education of teachers of children, organized by the German Aikido Club Kikentai Berlin.
